What is Colorist Foundry?
• A constant exploration of what's beyond cinematic look made us form Colorist Foundry. RUclips is our way to simplify our learnings for filmmakers and storytellers.
This is insanely useful, especially as someone who’s pretty new to color work. Thank you!!
I cannot tell you how appreciative I am for this dude, you quite sincerely saved my video. The before and after using Offset to get the white balanced is hilarious to me. How did I get it so wrong before??
Seriously, thank you so much.
If there's one thing I hate as a DP it's when a newbie colorist re-white balances my footage in post. I balanced it on set the way I wanted to see it in the footage. I can't tell you how many times a colorist has shown their first pass to me and the director and we're like, WTF HAPPENED TO ALL THE CHARACTER WE SAW IN THE DAILIES?! Except I know damn well wtf happened. They RE-whitebalanced everything. Point: colorists should work with the DP, or AT LEAST see a lookbook, before they waste a bunch of time white balancing everything.
Damn right!
Outstanding tutorial, I'm going to use the offset wheel for setting the white balance from now on! Engaging, informative, great video and music editing too, love this video.
This is actually incredibly useful for colorblind people, thank you so much
NOTE: Please discuss any changes with director & DP before white balancing. My DP always tries to get close to the final look in camera, so if the white balance is "off" it was for a reason.
What an amazing tutorial. I click off most on these RUclips videos in 3-5 seconds but now Im going through all of yours. Cheers!
I love the result and the use of the vectorscope! Thanks you!
Wow, I felt like I was watching a movie! This is one of the most well put together, enjoyable tutorial formats I’ve ever seen on RUclips. Great work! 10/10
Thanks, Cameron.
Thanks for this video... didn't know this WB process. Thank you so much.
i'm new to color grading (spent years doing it wrong) and Resolve, that is really useful. I will check your other videos for sure. Thank you!
Once again, short and sweet but phenomenally informative video! You guys are amazing!
Outstanding pace and editing for this common topic! I enjoyed it almost as a work of art rather than just a turtorial. Thank you and congratulations!
insanely useful. simple and an easy add to my workflow. Big thankyou!!!!
Hi , thanks so much for your crack. It really works. But from the beginning it did not work for some reason, I updated visual studio and oh my god it worked. Thank you!
Who paid you to write this comment lol
extremely useful! thanks so much
Hi, I have 0 experience in colour grading and I plan to shoot much later in Dec. But even as an amateur, I understood everything. Thanks a bunch.
Thanks!
Interesting...I must be really lazy or noob as I typically use the dropper for WB. Gonna compare doing that against this method though and see the differences.
I think the dropper does a pretty good job. But in most cases I don,t even need to make any white balamce cause I already do it when i,m shooting the footagage.
Great advice. Thanks.
Great video. Anyone know what tool would be the equivalent of the offset wheel in premiere pro?
Great channel, great video! Surely you need more followers, brother!
This is great for making a shot look good and balanced, but this might become redundant as soon as any level of artistic expression is introduced.
Thank you for taking the time to show this !
Fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing this tip! 🙏
This tutorial is amazing and you are really good at teaching !! great job sir !
simple and fun
This was super helpful!
As you were adjusting, you seemed to just know where the "center" of the vector scope was. How do you know when it's balanced? Isn't it true that some vector scopes may have colors that stretch far out, but aren't relevant to the white balance?
My guess is that he’s eyeballing it and making sure the “center of mass” is aligned with the center. If something stretches out, I’d treat that as an outlier and wouldn’t factor it into my balance
@@cicolas_nage I think I agree, but wasn't the whole point of using the vector scope to have a method better than just eyeballing it?
Amazing video, really! I have been doing some small projects colors here and there and NO ONE ever told me about this possibility.
Thank you 😊
Never thought about using the offset wheel to white balance. I normally just hit the C/W & G/M slider till I get my white balance fixed.
thank you so much dude you're a god
This video really helped me. Thank you very much!
Thanks bro so much😀
Is there any technical benefit to setting white balance this way over just using the Temp and Tint dials?
Fantastic video so easy so useful thanks for posting
You guys have really changed how I color grade
Thank you so much!!! It did work and took less than 5 minutes!
Another Tip:
If you have something in your shot, that should be white, isolate it on the first note via a mask. The change your scope to parade and use the color channels in the offset control knob seperately to bring each channel at the same level. Just do that with the offset. That should bring the white more closely to a neutral white.
What if there's red color cast used in shot? How do we balance it then?
@@manishpanghal8974 normaly you balance your footage to a reference which is the same whitebalance. After that you can dial back the wanted color cast. You do that to match multiple shots or even different cameras.
Thank you soo much, your video is very helpful for newbie creator like me
Huge thanks for this!
Great content. Do you happen to know the counterpart of offset in PP Lumetri? Thanks in advance.
This might be a noob question, but what is the advantage of doing this versus just using temp/tint adjustments?
basically, any way you change color balance will be different it its own way. Its definitey fater to balance this way as I personally just use ofset wheel on panel, and not two separate knobs
But its not the only way, I think there is at least 5 ways to change color balance in resolve, and you can use any you like and that will give you best result in the fastest way
Normally you should use the eye picker next to it and have a middle grey card on the day of the shoot and click on it but with these fast pace shoot these days, you may find yourself with no time having to hold a grey card etc...but with the print aka offset wheel, you can have an easier representation of the scene over than using waveforms.
Would you say this method is specifically when there is no grey card? i.e. if there was a grey card, would the wb eye dropper be better?
@@HikingWithCooper a grey card definitely allows to have a more accurate wb as trusting your eye and the offset wheel because humans got their own internal white balance and for me i cant trust it 100% lol.
@@loudmotion5639 colorists don't have grey cards, most of work we have trims of edited footage
This was so insightful.
Big thanks ☺️ really helpful
whats the name of the song you used in the background at 00:52
Talking about precision, is there any option to use a 50% gray reference in the shot to balance colors like a pixel perfect camera color correction card, color chart board, etc; instead of eye balling everything?
You can bring a gray card when shooting, or use false color on a monitor, but your best bet in post, depending what information you have access to would be qualifying or masking something specific in your image like skin tone to see if its sitting correctly in your waveform and correct according to that
@@ehfilmandvideo Thanks.
Wow, I was always too intimidated to try anything in the Color tab and this really made a huge difference in my current project. Thanks a lot!!
Whats different between pipette in WB and offset when we try fix the WB?
Thank you for sharing! This really helps!
Great tutorial, especially that it's that simple (or seems like that).
What about using picket with some white element, go balance whites on image?
unexpected video but very helpful
could you teach us how to balance clips before coloring
1:15 where is this shot from? such an eye pleaser
Pls clarify my doubt sir does it have tabla soft????? Pls tell sir
Much needed information
Is it possible to have the Vectorscope on photo editing softwares?
That's mega!
While this scope might help, so too will the temperature wheel, which is easier to get right. I feel using the colour wheel for the overall offset is easier to get wrong. Correct me if I'm wrong though.
How would you even get the idea to use the gain tool as white balance??? To add to that, why don't you use the proper WB tools (Temp and Tint) for WB?
Will I be able to use it with newest ios version??
Great Video!!
This was awesome
Why not use temp and tint if it was made specifically for white balancing?
what is the title of the music at 2 minutes? thank you
💯Agreed. Thats why we should never use auto wb, because if we use auto white balance that will take longer time when we do color corrections
Thanks so much
which monitor you are using ?
Why not use the intended "temp" and "tone" sliders? Honest question!
This is great but how would I do this in final cut? Lol
how about using the pen and select white in the footage
what about temp and tint?
So, in order to achieve any look first it's necessary to WB the shot?
it would be nice to have a video about premiere pro
great
Great tip and examples 👍
awesome content thank you
What is the song at 0:50? It's dope
Thanks a lot for this, I bough your product and I haven put it into practice, I wonder if you guys do 101 class I would love to take one with you. THanks
Printer light is king for WB
But after that you should know how to make shots blue, orange, green again because neutral image is pretty dull most of the time)
How do I do it on premier? 😅
How did you get all the color grading tools in the same spot?
Keeping natural skin color is the most important thing ever.
Still comes secondary if the scene was shot in out of control lighting. There must be emphasis on setting an overall neutral tonality in each major hue, before there is an emphasis on skin.
I have a question though, what about the automatic white balance? DR does a pretty good job on fixing it automatically though. Or not?
Set the white balance manually in camera then you do not have to spend any time in post white balancing.
For calibration you can use a white slate, color chart, and / or a calibrated color temperature meter.
The more precisely you shoot the less time you have to spend grading and editing.
Sometimes you are in a situation where you forget to change the whitebalance and recognize in the post, that the white balance is set wrong during shooting.
And even if you have set the white balance via the Kelvin settings correctly some cameras have a greenish or magenta tint...
Great video
niceeeee
thanks, thats insane :D
How to do it on phone?
Why not use temp and tint sliders?? Thats made for white balance.
That is not a linear operation… it won’t always balance the blacks.
it is best to balance by using offset, it’s the simplest operation and moves the whole image.
Best way to fix white balance would be to linearize, convert to cone space and then set the white balance and convert back. Sadly that requires knowledge of the gamma/color space the footage was shot in and cameras apply all their own little profiles to make the image look different. Also I doubt this method is even possible in Resolve which always just does magic stuff under the hood with zero explanation.
Not just that, imagine the processing load it would require. A non power user would find it unusable on everyday workstations. We’re trying develop a plug-in and it’s a shit expensive on computing side of things with normal transforms.
@@ColoristFoundry Oh yeah I can imagine. I bet it would be reasonably fast if done as a shader on the GPU though, like I think most of Resolve natively tries to do.
Thanks for the pill!
What about using RGB mixer for WB?
Can definitely work. But RGB mixer might be an a complicated approach. ESP since a lot of colorists use it to enter Color matrix values. Even then the main goal is trying not to touch the achromatic axis of Color cube. So what you’re trying to achieve is the opposite of it. Which might a bit tricky, but doable I would say.
That will forever be a problem
Turn on the skin tone line and bring the skin onto the line. It’s often the only reference you have in a shot.
I'm completely new to all this and just happened to stumble across your video. Could you please tell me what programme you're using here?
how do you arrange your workspace in such a way? I have primaries, windows, and scopes. but you only have primaries and scopes. nice tutorial btw. 👍👍👍👍
There should be a button with an arrow pointing to the left, near the word "parade".
ur a fcking legend dude honestly
Thank you for tNice tutorials video. I just downloaded soft soft and I was so, so lost. I couldn't even figure out how to make a soft. Your video
Setting the white balance correctly in your camare is only needed if you don't shoot in raw. For example if you only use jpg for photos. But if you use raw, the camera saves the information how it captures them without interpreting them. Hence the file format name: "raw". But because the camera doen't bother with interpreting the colors you have to do it in post. But since I have to convert those files later anyway, I find it easier to set the white balance in a program that is made to do that, like Lightroom for example in my case. That way I can focus more on the other things on set.
"needed" yeah, but if you set it correctly on set or during the shoot you'll be thankful in the post to don't do that after shooting. Because it mostly takes longer to get the correct white balance in post.
@@fightofdestiny true. I have a disc I can hold infront of my lense and point the camera toward the dominant light source to set the white balance. But everything else I count as color grading.
